  3. Re:The good old days by Snoggle · · Score: 1 · on The History of the Apple II as a Gaming Platform

    The first time I realized that I could make a career out of this fun computer stuff was when a guy "paid" me to get his SilenType printer working with a 16K RAM "language card" for my Apple II+ (about $300 IIRC). That was great since my giant 48K memory was still not up to the requirement for playing Zaxxon.
    My first real job with a paycheck was before I could drive, cracking educational software for a school system. Kids were constantly ruining the floppy disks so my job was to copy all the originals and send out only copies to the teachers. I was willing to do that just for fun and they offered to pay me. What a deal! They even bought me a copy of Locksmith, CopyII+ and an NMI card. I continued doing that through my first year of college. Bought the cool new Apple IIgs for that, then my first Mac (IIcx) afterwards when I finally gave up on my beloved II. I'm happily working away on my MacBookPro. Life is good.

    Beagle Bros actually had a hack that would alternate starting up your two floppy drives to sound like a steam train chugging.
    My cousin used Zoom Grafix to print out a 5x5 foot mickey mouse. Took days on his Epson MX-80 and was much lighter on one side than the other because the ink ribbon was wearing out. They had the Graftrax+ chip added to the printer so they could print actual graphics, not just letters.
    Everybody had a Nibble Notcher to make their disks double-sided.
    I still have an article somewhere describing how to snag the read/write track sector (RWTS) from a protected disk and use that to read a copy protected disk and write it out in unprotected format. Was going to submit to Hardcore Computist but never got around to it.
    I spent hours combing through games to change references from $C030 to $C020 with Inspector so the sound output would go to the cassette port and thus to my boom box.
    I remember the first time I got to see double high-res graphics on an Apple IIe with the extra video RAM. Amazing.
    I gave up getting a pair of cross-country skis for Mask of the Sun, which turned out to be not that great.
    I've forgotten how painful it was to do wordprocessing at 40 colums with no lower case and no spell checker on AppleWriter. I did have a third-party spell checker but it came on 6 disks. So one spell check required flipping in and out a pile of floppies and a lot of waiting. Had to do the Shift Key Mod running a wire from the shift key to the game paddle button to make the shift keys work. How did I ever get those school papers written.
    We had fun pretending that Fire Organ actually matched up with the music we were playing.
    And while I'm geezing, it sure was expensive reading about the 84 Olympics or downloading adventure game walkthroughs via my 300 BAUD Hayes Micromodem II over a long distance call to Compuserve for another $12/hour. Ahh, the good old days.

  13. Actual method of Milgram Obedience Study... by Miaowara_Tomokato · · Score: 5, Informative · on Life Imitates Art at Intel

    Following is a summary of the Milgram study to clarify misinformation in the parent post; a full explanation can be found in The Perils of Obedience, penned by Stanley Milgram. Additionally, a participant in the original experiment writes his personal account here; other discussion abounds.

    The goal of Milgram's research was to see how people reacted to an authority figure telling them to administer electric shocks to a victim in the next room which would then protest in varying degrees depending on the amount of shock (actually a tape recording). These shocks were to be given when the 'subject' misperformed a simple memory task. With each wrong answer, the voltage of the shock was increased, starting at 14 volts ranging to 450 at the high end. The switches were labeled in groups of four, starting with 'slight shock' and the final two switches marked merely with 'XXX'.

    The responses given by the 'subject' (who mentions his heart condition at some point) are: a grunt at 45 volts, loud complaining at 120v, an agonized scream at 285v, then eventually silence in response to the highest levels.

    If the participant giving the shocks complained, the experimenter (Played by a tall, deep-voiced man dressed very scientist-y) as the authority figure told them to continue. Depending on the number of times a participant complained, they were told something else by the experimenter. These were:
    'the experiment requires that you continue'
    'it is essential that we continue'
    'you have no other choice'

    If the participant refused to continue after the final imperative, the experiment was halted. Milgram had predicted that only 4% of the participants would reach the 300 volt mark, and only 1 in 1000 would deliver the highest shock possible.

    A full 25 of the 40 participants delivered the full range of shock. The experimenter halted the session the third time a 450 volt shock was delivered. This result generalizes across race, sex, country of origin and social status. Many of the participants did show signs of extreme stress towards the end of the experiment (clenching fists, laughter, squinting, sweating). Many people allege that there were long term effects (a la Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), though no one seems able to cite these cases. Many of the people in their short-term responses reported that they felt that overall it was a positive experience in which they could learn about themselves. Of course, that could just be a coping strategy to help deal with the trauma. People are built mentally tough, it is a rare person that would have severe long-term effects from this one isolated experiment.

    A standard of decency never hurt anyone, except for those who don't want a standard to exist for the very reason they don't have one and don't want the rest of society to have one either.

    That's a really dumb thing to say. Just because I don't want the government regulating something you think is immoral doesn't mean that I am opposed to morality in toto. I happen to think that morality is incredibly important, but that when the government gets involved that nine times out of ten they do more to HURT morality than help it.

    Hell, I even put up Ben Franklin's Thirteen Virtues on my website, and I try and keep them in mind throughout the day. Ethics and morality are not things that the government can force upon a free people, doubly so for things that a large portion - perhaps majority - of the population do not consider unethical.

    I am very much for having a good moral society. I do not think that bared boobs are immoral.

    Use of nonblocking I/O is in general almost as difficult as writing good multithreaded code.

    Absolutely. As I said, writing good singlethreaded code is often harder than writing multithreaded code for a similar function. However, it's also faster. My entire argument here is that threading is unwise as a performance-driven decision, not that threading is a poor idea on any other grounds (except for the deadlock-related potshots, which I'm willing to withdraw).

    In that case a multithreaded design may make for simpler code than writing (and optimizing) what is in effect a thread scheduler for a single threaded application.

    Absolutely -- I never intended to imply that a good single-threaded solution would be simplest of those options available. Note, however, that libraries implementing such a scheduler are already available, so one need not implement it ground-up. See Cheap Threads for one example.

    I don't know about "continually downgrading", but I had the tech out here yesterday (my DSL modem refused to sync for 3 days). After testing my line but prior to fixing it, the tech told me it was not possible to have a DSL line at this location. When I informed him that I had been up for over a year, I was informed that because my line resistance was .5 ohms over limit, my line would be throttled back to ~300kbps incoming, 128 outgoing and was also told that "Because I am on the edge of the DSLAM's coverage, any further service calls will result in my DSL service being dropped." This on a line that's gone down 3 times in a 15 months, this being the only one that required a visit to the house. (Oh BTW, the problem - the original installer didn't tighten the connections in the box outside, causing them to lose continuity over time). The service I'm paying for advertises 700mbps; should I be compensated for my lost bandwidth? I now beleive what I should have done was check on the problem myself - using the tech, I did get my service back on, but I got screwed bigtime in the process. BTW, this is the "new" swbell.

  25. Why not use a PC? Answered by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Review of the Audiotron Stereo MP3 Component

    A bunch of people ask "Why not use a PC?" As someone who cares deeply about the quality of sound, and spends time and money to get it, PCs suck. They're very noisy envoronments in terms of EM radiation. Those speaker wires coming off the back of the PC act as antenas, and thus you get not only the sound out of your PC, but the sound of your PC coming through your speakers.

    Also, I wouldn't want a PC in my stack from a vibration or esthetics viewpoint. Running ethernet over there doesn't bother me nearly as much. Oh yeah, does this thing drive speakers directly, or do you plug it into an amp? (line level or speaker level output?)

    A similar concept, much higher end, likely to be amusing to you gits who spend $5000 on computers every year, and then listen to music through $50 speakers, is at http://home.swbell.net/ronsuthe/ That takes digital sound output from your sound card, and drives an amplifier. USB-tube-amp. Cool.

Why not make one with the GNU gnu on it instead of Mao? Or what about Tux? Man, that would be cool!

    It works on Mandrake. There is even a sample configuration file for the kernel with Reiserfs support. Be sure and check the CPU type though.

    Lack of authority and the desire to keep your family fed are powerfully motivating forces; even if they can't find anyone over here to do the engineering for them (they can) then they can always look overseas and import smart, cheap labor.
